When there are multiple issues with the kidneys and liver, treatment and regulation should be approached by considering multiple factors comprehensively. 1. Identify the underlying causes and actively treat the primary disease. 2. Regulate through diet, such as adopting a low-salt, low-fat, low-protein diet and consuming foods rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, to reduce the burden on the liver and kidneys. At the same time, engaging in moderate exercise, such as jogging or walking (medium-to-low intensity aerobic activities), can help strengthen physical fitness and promote metabolism. 3. It is also important to avoid不良 lifestyle habits such as excessive fatigue, mental stress, and staying up late, as well as avoid ingesting medications and foods harmful to the liver and kidneys. When necessary, medication should be taken under a doctor's guidance to improve liver and kidney function.
